Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of Clustering Protocols in Mobile Ad hoc NetworksSharmila J. Francis, Elijah B. RajsinghNetwork clustering is an important technique widely used in efficient MANETs network management, hierarchical routing protocol design, network modeling, Quality of Service, etc. Recently many researchers are focusing on clustering which is one of the fundamental problems in mobile ad hoc networks. This article presents the descriptions of recently proposed clustering algorithms and is categorized into different approaches that support … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRarefied Gas Flow Modeling inside Rotating Circular CylinderN. PourmahmoudIn this study a rarefied gas flow inside a rotating circular cylinder by means of direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is investigated. A rarefied gas is supposed to be contained in a cylindrical domain, bonded by a rotational cylinder with smooth and diffuse-reflection surface. The top and bottom ends of domain is assumed to be speculary-reflecting. Special attention is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating the Implementation and Effectiveness of GIS-Based Application in Secondary School Geography LessonsAli DemirciThe purpose of the study was to investigate the barriers preventing the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in secondary school geography lessons and to determine its effectiveness on students’ success. A workshop focusing on ways to implement GIS-based application in the classroom for 14 teachers from nine high schools was conducted in 2006. The teachers were given GIS software, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical and Genetic Responses of Fungi to the Toxic Effect of Synthetic and Natural FungicidesMarÍa-Elena Báez-Flores, Rosalba Troncoso-Rojas, Martin-Ernesto Tiznado-HernándezThe objective of the present review is to analyze the molecular basis of fungicide resistance mechanism to both synthetic fungicides and the natural fungicides isothiocyanates. The review is focused mainly on Alternaria sp., but whenever available, similar studies in other fungi have been included. Fungal resistant strains to dicarboximide and phenylpyrrole fungicides have been found to contain mutations in one … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassification of Textures by Avoiding Complex PatternsV. V. Kumar, B. E. Reddy, U. S.N. Raju, A. SureshThe present research advocates a new method for texture classification based on primitive patterns. For this, an optimal set of eight simple patterns are selected based on their discrimination. The percentage of frequency of occurrences is computed for these patterns on entire texture image. Textures can be classified by using frequency of occurrences, for complex patterns also. The present research … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 6,976 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Tool for Testing of Inheritance Related Bugs in Object Oriented SoftwareB. G. Geetha, V. Palanisamy, K. Duraiswamy, G. SingaravelObject oriented software development different from traditional development products. In object oriented software polymorphism, inheritance, dynamic binding are the important features. An inheritance property is the main feature. The compilers usually detect the syntax oriented errors only. Some of the property errors may be located in the product. Data flow testing is an appropriate testing method for testing program futures. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 7,072 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Soil Solution Chemicals after Tannery Effluents DisposalCélia A. Surita, Thomas Gloaguen, Célia R. Montes, Carlos T.S. DiasKnowledge about soil solution chemicals is important for assessing their mobility, availability, migration to groundwater and toxicity to plants. The objective of this study was to apply factor analysis to data obtained on soil solution chemicals during a one-year monitoring program in a controlled experiment with tannery effluents disposed on the soil surface, to extract information on their relationship and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Modified AODV for Load BalancingAmita Rani, Mayank DaveAODV is a prominent routing protocol for MANET that uses hop count as a path selection metric. However, AODV has no means to convey traffic load on current route. This study focuses on introducing a new metric, Aggregate Interface Queue Length (AIQL), in AODV in order to deal with load balancing issues. Performance evaluation through simulation shows that the modified … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,110 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMapping UML Component Specifications to JEE ImplementationsJyhjong LinComponent-based Software Engineering (CbSE) has become a well-accepted approach for developing complex software systems due to its significant advantages on composition and reuse. In practice, however, its use still requires the conjunction of a component specification method that describes how system requirements are satisfied in terms of software components. Such a component specification is then implemented in a variety of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,481 accessesView PDFCite
